Barcus announcing that the Grand Jurisdiction of Ohio would be unable to continue its affiliation with the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E. A. and A., on account of the heavy taxation entailed in the effort to build a Pythian temple in Chicago, Ill., which would no scheme of rebuilding would be self-supporting, and which is now $335,000 in debt, with a receivership threatening. Right on the heels of this comes the announcement that Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green has called a meeting of the Grand Chancellors in order to secure immediate funds to prevent the Western Iron Construction Co. from making application for a receivership for the building. Here is the copy of the letter: Western Construction Co., Inc., 4906 North Clark Street Chicago, Oct. 8, 1929. Mr. S. W. Green, 507 Temple Bldg., New Orleans, La. Dear Sir: Dear Sir: Upon my return to the city today I was much surprised to learn that we have received to date only a little over $17,000.00 of a total past due of $61,725.00. We are being pushed and squeezed by our banks, who cannot see why a proper plan of financing was not done by you long ago in anticipation of this crisis. The sum and substance of all this is: we want our money and want it at once, as we do not see why we should wait for the expiration date of your proclamation calling for this tax. May we suggest that you call a meeting at once of all the Grand Chancellors, at which time they will be advised that a receivership for the building will be instituted unless each and every Grand Lodge comes to the immediate rescue of the Supreme Lodge and pay our money. Surely the Grand Chancellors confronted with the ignomy and financial loss of this project will find a way to meet at once the just obligations of the Knights of Pythias to us. May I hear from you in a frank way upon my suggestion? Yours very truly, WESTERN IRON CONSTRUCTION CO. Signed by J. E. Ulrich. The threat to suspend the Grand Lodge of North Carolina for its inability to pay the sum assessed against it was carried out under date of October 21, 1929. But this brought about an anomalous condition of affairs, for the Commissioner of Insurance of North Carolina took a hand and directed the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Inc., not to send any money out of the State to pay on this Pythian temple fund. Should the Grand Lodge of North Carolina disregard this instruction, its license to do business in that State would be revoked. The proclamation of Grand Chan- cellor Robert B. Barcus is as follows: Of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the State of Ohio, N. A., S. A., E., A. A. and A. October 19, 1929. PROCLAMATION No. 3 To the Members of Subordinate Lodges, Officers, Supreme Repre- sentatives, District Deputy Grand Chancellors of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the Juris- diction of Ohio—Greetings: Another New National Pythian Temple Tax of $1.00 per Member Enacted in August, 1929. Proclamation Number Two, Series L, issued by the Supreme Chancellor under date of September 10, 1929, has been received by this office, announcing the fact that the Supreme Lodge has again, for the fourth time within the past ten years, levied another new tax of $1.00 per member against the members of the subordinate lodges for the purpose of raising money for the National Pythian Temple located in Chicago, Illinois. This new tax is, also, called an emergency tax the same as the previous tax law, which was enacted in Chicago, Illinois, in 1927, because the Supreme Lodge officials and financiers who were in charge of the construction of the temple, in making their official reports to the Supreme Lodge, held in Indianapolis, Indiana, during August, 1929, stated that unless the new tax were enacted and the taxes collected thereunder, the National Pythian Temple would be thrown into the hands of a receiver with the consequence that with the consequence that because they reported that the Supreme Lodge was "broke," "defunct," "stranded," and practically "bank-runt." Tax Provided at Atlantic City, New Jersey, 125c per person, 25c per person for Four Years. The administration leaders of the Supreme Lodge proposed to the delegates at the Atlantic City session in August, 1919, that if they would provide a Pythian Temple tax of 256 per member, running for a period of four years, that sufficient money would be provided by such legislation to complete the National Pythian Temple in Chicago. more, they stated that there would be a taxation for the Supreme Lodge building purposes. There was some protest against this tax by Ohio and a few other jurisdictions, but the administration majority passed the law, and Ohio was able to collect a part of this tax and provided otherwise for the deficit and paid to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $1,213.50. Tax Provided at New York Session in 1923, 25c Per Capita Tax to Run Indefinitely to Complete the Pythian Temple. The administration financiers two years later at the New York session during August, 1923, came forth and reported to the Supreme Lodge that they were mistaken when they stated two years ago that 25c per capita tax for four years, which was provided for at Atlantic City. New RICHMOND, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY NOVEMBER 2 1929 ment Fund. Ohio paid the full amount of this tax to the Supreme Lodge amounting to the sum of $5,267.02. Ohio Unable to Collect Fythian Temple Taxes During the Last Ice Years, But Has Arranged to Make Money from Endowment Bodge Salary, and Endowment Funds. This assessment of the Supreme Lodge for building purposes has driven ten subordinate lodges of this jurisdiction out of business, and at a time, too, when we had built up our membership to 7,107. This number has been reduced to about 4,000, which means that we have lost over 3,000 members by reason of the Supreme Lodge program of taxation for building purposes. New Tax of $1.00 Provided at Indianapolis, Indiana, Session in 1929. Ohio Cannot Collect it and, Therefore, Cannot Pay It. This new tax enacted by the administration leaders in Indianapolis, Indiana, session in 1929, to provide more funds for the National Pythian Temple in Chicago, after having assured the Supreme Lodge representatives and Grand Chancellors at Chicago in 1927 that no more taxes would be enacted, is a tax and a burden, which the grand jurisdiction of Ohio cannot stand, for the following reasons: I. The obligation which this jurisdiction has assumed in order to purchase the State Pythian Temple located in Columbus, Ohio. II. The obligation assumed by the Grand Lodge to provide and to maintain the State Home for the Aged and Infirm in Greene County near Xenia, Ohio. III. The obligation imposed upon the Grand Lodge to replenish or to restore to the Endowment Treasury funds transferred from that department in order to pay the Supreme Lodge taxes so as to secure the payment of the claims to the widows and orphans of deceased members in this State. IV. The obligation resting upon the Grand Lodge to provide funds in order to pay to its officers their annual salaries, which has been impossible because of money taken from the Grand Lodge treasury in order to pay the National Pythian Temple taxes in Chicago, Illinois. V. The obligation resting upon the Grand Lodge to reimburse the supreme representatives for their expenses in representing the Grand Lodge at the Supreme Lodge sessions. VI. The obligation resting upon the Grand Lodge to pay to the Brigadier General of the Uniform Ranks of Ohio the amount of money to which he is entitled, but which has not been paid to him, because the money was used to assist in paying the Pythian Temple taxes to the Supreme Lodge. VII. The obligation resting upon the Grand Lodge to make some substantial financial provision to assist the Uniform Ranks Department of Ohio. Obio Will Not Further Violate State Laws Nor Laws of the Order To Be Admitted To Supreme Lodge Conventions. Jersey, would be sufficient to complete the Pythian Temple. They, therefore, asked for legislation providing for a new tax of 25c per capita per year for that purpose, without specifying the number of years the same was to run, in order to avoid making the same mistake that they did two years previously by limiting the tax to four years only. The thought was, they said, that if sufficient money could be raised by this tax running only one or two years without specifying the number of years, that the tax would be discontinued, and the subordinate lodges would be relieved of any further taxation. Ohio protested, together with a few other jurisdictions, against this tax, but the law was enacted, and Ohio was able to collect only a part of this tax, but made up the deficit from other funds and paid to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $4,786.20. Tax Provided at Louisville, Kentucky Session in 1925, Four Years Taxes of 25c Per Member Required in Advance. The administration financiers at Louisville, Kentucky, session held in August, 1925, reported that if the delegates in that convention would enact another new tax law, providing for the collection of 25c per member per annum for four years in advance, that a sufficient amount of money would be realized therefrom to complete the National Pythian Temple, and that there would be no further taxation for this building. Ohio and a few other States protested against this tax, as it was a scheme to provide a tax of 25c per capita for each member for a period of four years, but by law it was acted over our purpose. Ohio collected $10 of this tax, but made up the deficit from other funds and paid to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $5,666.02 for that purpose. Ten Provided at Chicago, Illinois Tax Provided at Chicago, Illinois Session in 1927, $1.00 per Capita Tax Levied to Complete the National Pythian Temple in Chicago. The administration financiers again reported to the delegates at the session held in Chicago, Illinois, in August 1927, that they were mistaken again when they stated two years previous to this session that four years taxes at 25c per capita per member payable in advance would be sufficient amount of money to complete the National Pythian Temple. They demanded a new law to be passed, assessing the members of the subordinate lodges the sum of $1.00 per member, which they declared would provide all of the money that was necessary for completing the National Pythian Temple. Ohio together with a few other jurisdictions, again protested and opposed this tax, but the law was enacted under the administration leaders' orders over Ohio's protest. The Grand Lodge of Ohio made an effort to collect this tax from its members, but was only able to collect a part of the same and was compelled to make up the deficit from the Grand Lodge funds by depleting its treasury and made up the additional balance from the Endow- It is in violation of the Grand Lodge laws that any Endowment Funds collected from the subordinate lodges be used for any other purposes than that of payment of death claims and the operating expenses of that department. The insurance laws for the State of Ohio restrict, or limit, the use of these funds for the payment of death claims, operating expenses, and to the acquiring of real estate necessary for the transaction of its business. The Grand Lodge has acted with interest in the State Pythian Temple, located in Columbus, Ohio, as its home office and place in which its business is to be transacted. This is a safe investment. Partial Payment of Taxes Will Not Do Any Good. I had thought once to suggest to the Grand Lodge of Ohio that we might make an effort to request the Grand Lodge officers to donate their services to the Grand Lodge for the current year, so that their salaries might be again applied to the payment of the $1.10 tax to the Supreme Lodge for the National Pythian Temple. However, this would only man about $2,000.00, which would not be sufficient to pay the full amount of the taxes. Even if we could raise as much as $2,000.00 by this means, it would do the jurisdiction no good, because the Supreme Chancellor would not accord to Ohio its full rights and privileges, unless it paid the full amount of the taxes assessed. There is a precedent for this statement for the reason that Ohio was unable to collect the tax levied at the Louisville, Kentucky, session in 1925, and was compelled to make arrangements to pay the same in three installments. Our first remittance was $2,500.00; the second was $2,000.00, and the third was $850.00, making a total of $3,550.00. Nevertheless, Ohio was refused the password and was, also, not allowed admission to the Supreme Lodge upon its arrival at the convention, until it paid interest upon the deferred payments amounting to $216.02. It, therefore, appears that any effort to pay a part of this tax would be folly unless the whole amount could be raised and paid. Pythian Sanitarium and Bath House Sold Inquired County Taxes The Pythian Sanitarium and Bath House Building, built by funds raised by taxation of members, which cost approximately $500,000.00, and located at Hot Springs, Arkansas, was reported by the Supreme Chancellor at the Indianapolis, Indiana, session, held in August, 1929, to have been sold by the county treasurer for delinquent taxes amounting to the sum of $4,063.80. The administration financiers and leaders, when demanding tax legislation providing funds with which to erect and equip and furnish this building, assured the Supreme Lodge that the revenue accruing therefrom would not only make it self-sustaining, but that it would yield an annual profit, and that the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts, which had loaned to the Supreme Lodge money in the The following is a list of deaths of colored people reported to the Richmond Bureau of Health from October 18th to October 24th, 1929, with age and date of death: Jack Smith, 321 18th St., 50 years, October 16th.

Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the brusied spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was: that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair, and after experimenting for twenty-seven months Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a Special O 100 single sheets 100 envelopes per Deliverer 100 sheets of paper 100 envelopes per Deliverer Each customer is allowed 3 lines, 2 inches wide.

After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live.

Whenever a woman thinks that her husband is spending any part of his earnings on another woman, whether it is a lie or the truth, peace and harmony for that couple has “flown ‘out of the window.” Some women are worried becaus¢ they have gone as far as the laws o! decency and indecency permit to at tract certain men and there is no re- sponse from the male quarters. The trouble may bé that the womar market is over-stocked. Whenever you desire the separa- tion of your son from your neigh- hor’s daughter or vice versa, proceed to bring about the marriage of the two, ‘Then that which attracts will repel. If you doubt it, look about you. Colored folks, be particularly po- lite and obliging to white folks right through here now. If they want you: support for any of their favorite candidates, they will be particularly polite and obliging to you, especially when they know it costs them noth- ing. 3 ‘The conviction of Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, in the criminal division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Friday, October 25, 1929, by a jury will create but little surprise among those of us, who have followed the proceedings closely. It was really a verdict by direction of the Court it- ‘The defendant had made a most favorable impression upon the coun- try at large by his willingness to risk his life at the trial in a: last vain effort to clear himself of the calumny that attached to the viru- lence of the indictment. In directing his counsel to take no advantage of technicalities and even to wave his constitutional rights in the premises in order that the trial might proceed and be concluded, Thsula he noi be able to be present fon account of his serious ilies, which seriously threatened his life, he threw about himself a halo of light, which intensified the presump- tion that he was innocent. ‘The jury brought in a verdict of guilty with a recommendation of mercy. The latter plea may be dis- regarded by the Court. The feeling is that Fall has been persecuted and prosecuted enough. He can expect no favors from the higher courts for the reason that he had been prac- tically adjudged guilty in this oil scandal business by language used in the Supreme Court of the United States in comment in other cases. Even in the United States Senate Janguage was permitted and words uttered, which if known to have reached the jury would have urged and demanded a reversal of the find- ings of the latter body. * POLITICAL TRICKERY Something of a sensation was caused this week by the last minute Sttempt to inject the race issue in this State contest for Governor, al though both sides have professed to be disinterested in either the Negro or his vote. ‘The Richmond, Va, News Leader of the 28th ult. carried the following news story: ‘A. pamphlet containing a photo: graph’ of Oscar DePriest,, Chicago Negro congressman, and ‘his wife and containing a series of newspaper Clippings describing DePriest’s re. Sent activities in Virginia, Tennesse Gnd elsewhere, remained in circula- tion in Richmond today with Henry W. Anderson, Republican leader, de nouncing the pamphlet, as containing false charges against the Republica pari, Viewinia, ond with State Democratic headquarters, ¢ ‘ 'T. McCall Frazier, director of John Garland Pollard’s campaign or- ganization, wrote Mr. Anderson late yesterday that neither Mr. Pollard hor nis headquarters are responsible for cireulating the DePriest matter, and condemned Mr. Anderson for taking public his letter of complaint without making public the reply of Mr. Pollard’s headquarters to the Anderson letter. Mr. Anderson read an open letter to Mz, Pollard protesting against the pamphlet in the course of an address Rt Clarendon last night, Meanwhile Mr. Frazier, learning of Mr, Ander- son's speech, made publi his reply te the Anderson complaint. ‘The pamphlet—an eight-page af- fair—contains the picture of De- Priest and his wife and a series of ‘clippings without comment. — The front page of the pamphlet, which ‘was in general circulation today in Richmond, points out that Dr, Brown, Republican candidate, and Mr, An- jderson have been advocating a re- ‘vision in the Virginia, election lar ‘and that “Colonel Anderson has said ‘that ‘the iniquitous poll tax as a prerequisite to voting should be abol- ished.’ The headlines point out that “the poll tax requirment was put into the constitution to eliminate the ‘Negro vote, and it is today the re- quirement ‘which really eliminates them.” "The conclusion expressed in, the ‘neadlines of the material is, “Can white supremacy be preserved in Vir- 'ginia if our election laws are liberal- |ized to meet the views of Dr. Brown, 16s. Dannhiiean candidate for govar- nor, and Colonel Anderson, his chief “supporter?” . | Me, Brazier zeplied to, Mr. Ander 'son’s letter to Mr, Pollard immediate- ‘ly after it was delivered to him by messenger, Mr. Frazier said that he \did not know Mr. Anderson’s letter ‘was an open letter, since there was ‘nothing on it to indicate this. | "The Frazier letter was as follows: | “Your letter dated October 28, ad- | dressed to Hon John Garland Pollard, has just been received at this of fice, “Dr, Pollard is in Southwest Vir. linia and will not return to Rich. |mond until Wednesday. It is for this reason that I am taking the liberty to advise you that Democratic headquarters has not printed nor dis tributed any circulars with reference to Oscar DePriest. No one connected with Democratic headquarters haa had anything to do with the printing or distributing of any such cireulat as vou describe. | “So far as I know, Dr, Pollard ‘does not know of the existence of jsuch a pamphlet as you mention and is no more responsible for its print- Jing and distribution than is Dr. ‘Brown or his headquarters responsi- | ble for the printing and distribution jof the circulars signed by Dabney |Harrison, which is now being dis- [tributed by friends of the coalitior candidates, and in which Dr. Pollaré lis shamefully slandered. | “You may be sure that when Dr. | Pollard returns to the city Wednes- | day, he will reply to your letter.” Mr. Anderson in his letter to Dr. | Pollard charged that Democratic headquarters is responsible for dis tributing the pamphlet. | The text of his letter follows: sar TBE bas just come to my atten tion a pamphlet being issued and dis- tributed fom your headquarters in Richmond containing a piczure of Congressman DePriest, of Chicago, }and his wife, together with an al. | leged account of her having been | olficially received at the White House ‘and extracts from inflammatory speeches of DePriest. On the front | page of this circular appears the fol- | lowing langouge: | “Dr. Brown Republican canstidate |for governor; Colonel Anderson and Ithe Republican platform upon which | Brown is running demand a radical jrevision of our election laws, includ Jing the repeal of the requirement that a three-year poll tax must be paid as a prerequisite for voting.’ | “This statement is absolutely false. Since the Republican platform is printed and in possession of your headquarters, it must have been known to be false when issued. The only provision of the Republican platform on which Dr. Brown is run- ning with reference to the election laws reads as follows: ““We agree with Thomas Jefferson that “the will of the people is the only legitimate foundation for any government; to protect its free ex. pression should be our first object.” We believe that the present election laws of this State are in conflict with this principle. We oppose any’ policy which would seek to reopen Questions affecting the relations be- tween various groups of our pegple Jong since and finally settled. Sub- ject always to this condition, we favor the simplification of our elec- tion laws and the fair administration thereof so as to permit and encour- age voting by those persons who are properly qualified and to prevent Fraud or irregularities in the conduct of elections.’ “In view of the use of my name in this statement, I desire to denounce the effort on the part of es head- quarters to associate Dr. Brown and myself with DePriest as nothing less than infamous and as unworthy of a campaign conducted by Virginians. “T now desire to ask you: “1.” Whether you authorized or approve the issue and circulation of this document from your headquar- ters. 4 “3, Whether you authorized or approve the false statement referred to above as to the Republican plat- form on which Dr. Brown is running. “3. Whether you authorized or approve the outrageous attempt to associate Dr, Brown and myself with DePriest, a Negro congressman from Chicago, with whom we have noth- ing whatever to do. “4. Whether you authorized or approve the effort made in this cir- eular to drag into the campaign in Virginia the wife of the president of the United States because she dis- chasged official acts required of her by her position in receiving the wives of all congressmen officially at the White House, knowing, as you do, that colored persons in official posi- tions have been received at the ‘White House by all administrations for the past fifty years, including those of President Cleveland an President Wilson, and that such of- ficial acts have no racial or personal significance whatever. | “President and Mrs, Hoover, have been extremely ‘onsiderate of, Vir ginia making ‘ir summer homé Pets. tate and in their interest THE RIOHMOND PLANET, RIVHMOND, VinGi-- Ahoy For a Merry Christmas o: the Bounding Main! ok 1 “=p eit oh ee a ae 7 pace B= ron | . i ee See 6 ta) ome bee ee pe ar ne eee ine 5 Ae GF 3 oemrenmneiiyien 0 : Kao eas rp. | ge De Va fitge yee : io , os had ee et As Se als ae Ree ie gees 2 ) eo Ga ce Ra rk ce gens ol men Se et il ee Gre BIT phe ~ See, suman. & : 5 { ens e (SG | ee (eA Da) & C2 Be A eh wig ao : pac dinec\ i ape, Qa : Me br NG Fi, wh a Fe ¢ on A & re RS | Coes ER] neers B nara f NB ON | een So ge ae a ee Ri.

When you called my attention to an error in stating your position, I promptly cor: rected that error as’ publicly a3 pos- sible. [assumed that when you said at Williamsburg that you desired to avoid personalities in this campaign, and in effect that you desired to con- duct the campaign as a controversy ‘between gentlemen, that you meant it, This circular is not in keeping ‘with that assurance. “{ shall be speaking every night this week and I do not wish to do you an injustice in referring to, this matter, I, therefore, ask you to an- swer the above questions as prompt- ly as possible, so that T may know whether this iniquitous conduct of your headquarters has your authority or approval. In the absence of any Statement from you I naust asnume that the acts of your headquacters are by your authority and have your approval. Knowing you as I have done I dislike to think that this is true.” It seems that both of the’ parties to the controversy got “hot: im the collar”. Just what Congressman Oscar DePriest, a citizen of Ilinsis, has to do with the campaign in Wir- ginia and just how white people al- leged to be intelligent could be af- fected by suck a far-flung effort to stir up race prejudice will also be a question. In the search for the “mystery stool-pigeon” whe: circu- lated this kind of eleventh hour trickery, it might be well to make an enquiry in the want columns of this same newspaper and those of with a suitable reward attached for the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch the name of the parties concerned. Tt may be that the circular or pamphlets were printed outside of this State and shipped here. The colored folks understand thoroughly the position of both of those Demo- cratic Wings in this gubernatoris) contest. One is about as friendly to the Negroes as the other. They are appealing to an element of white people, thousands of whom have an antipathy to the brother in black. They do not want to “shoo it away” for the reason that there are not enough Negro votes in sight to sup- ply the deficiency. : In the meantime, both party man agers have their “mouths watering” for the support of such Negroes as may appear upon the horizon with no “strings attached” for the votes that they control and can utilize at the critical moment.

In fact, the Bible is a Peace Book and reveals the only basis {mutual understanding that will be effective in all cases. The boldness ot the various writers is a marvel, No matter how distressing were present convitions they, by faith and through divine revelation, declared that peace fa! conditions would come, The boldest claim of all was that this peace siould come about through the advent of the Prince of Peace. Tt remains for the world to see how literally the prophecy of Jerusalem rea peace center will be fulfilled, It must ‘have caused a gasp when Isaiah j velaimed a highway uniting warlike Egyot and Assyria with, Jerusalery «. route, Here were nations that were always at ‘variance and each was Scriving for the possession of Palestine as the Key to the other, “A wonderful portrayal of peace is given under the parable of beating the swords into Plowshares aad the spears into pruning hooks, Up to this time nations had ‘been impoverished by the cost of war and they not thought of using war-making materials for peaceful pursuits. The very idea of being @ Nalcnr of war methods was to be abandoned. ‘Paul advances the teaching ag he addresses the cultured and philosoph- ical audience in Athens.” He sought to, impress them with the idea of the brotherhood of mam’ through the Fatherhood of God. As sucti they should rt lit menacing arms against each other, There is culture in the pursuits [peace even more than in the conquests from wars. Manhood is advanced a other ways than by acquiring, skill in murder. Jesus startled the woman of Samaria at the well of Jacob when he pro~ posed Kindly dealings between the Jews and the Samaritans, who for gen- Erations had been at bitter enmity: War is too often caused by national ambition which is fostered by national boasting about superiority. This Teacher of Peace asserted that place of worship had no value: it was a hheart condition as the individual spirit sought: communion with the Supreme Spirit, Being greatly interested in a common cause does away with local pride and seit-interest, ‘The Christian is indeed a world citizen and as such fe.

She is a graduate of the four she will attend, chosen is Lucy won by Tom Stevens, who has a great reputation as a successful businesswoman. She heart-touching Lucy they are going aboard his boat, the Minerva, and the accords in order not to be a "quitter." Asked if she is sorry that she had to leave, Lucy said, "that evidently Fate has arranged it. Tim threwups tells her to stop looking regrettely after Leon. Now Go On With the Story "Regrettably? I’ve never regretted anything, Tim. I do . . . whatever I do . . . because . . . it was ordained. Am I able to deflect the course of the universe? Then how can I defect myself? I’m a projectile, Tim, aimed by some force at some remote target." "Remote? Maybe not. Perhaps "Remote? Maybe not. Perhaps I'm the target, Lucy," he suggested. She pursed her mouth. "hardly can say, I'm." "Why not?" he demanded. "I'm too good for you," she told him. "Are you, by any chance, joking?" he inquired. "Are you, not?" "Then you're just being rude?" "Truthful" is a pretier word." "Too good for me, eh?" he mased."Well, 'good' is a strange word. It's capable of a lot of translations. Too good for me? How about Leeson? Not too good for him?" "Why harp on him? I'd never met him until to-night," she said. The Minerva was one of the finest boats of its kind in Southern waters, and often though she'd seen the craft, Lucy Harkness gave a little nod of approbation to-night. The polished woodwork reflected the stars; the chairs cushioned wicker, gleamed lessly white; the enangy of the spot, boats on the canopy, aft looked, in this silver light, as though made of damask. And upon the table laid for two the Minerva's steward had expended not merely time but taste. "I always like you better when I come aboard the Minerva, Tim," she said. "So?" His voice was sullen. "I think the Minerra, so clean and sweet, is your soul—when you were a tiny baby." "How long have you been teaching Sunday-school?" he demanded. She laughed. "Fair enough! It isn't fair to reproach you about the present condition of your soul, is it, Tim? Not, while my own is in the condition it is. Well, I won't lecture you or abuse you any more to-night." "You'll be nice!" he asked, again eager. "As nice as possible. You won the race didn't you?" "And you didn't really mind my foaming? You wanted me to win?" he demanded. "I'm twenty-three, Tim. Old enough to realize that what we want we may not have what we get has been determined ago. You've got me, for sooner here. I've got you. Well, let's make the best of it." "It could be a lovely best," he insinuated. She shrugged. "Maybe, I don't know. Fate hasn't taken me that far into her confidence." "Could I show you?" he inquired. "You mean . . . make love to me?" She shook her head, "Fate has read me no riddles, Tim, but that . . . I don't need her assistance. Love can only be made when two engage in the pretty pastime. And I . . . shall never engage in that little game with you." "Sure?" She stared at him, taking no warning from his eagerness. "Fos-o-lute, old thing." She straightened up in her chair. "Come let's drop nonsense, aid him." Be as nice as he was. But 'possible' ends at talk of flirtation and long before flirtation begins. Here, what's this?" She leaped to her feet. The Minerva's lines had been cast off, and the propeller had begun to move. She ran to the low rail and stood poised upon it for a moment. But the stone pier was already twenty feet away. "Well, for the love of Mike!" ejaculated Stevena. "Any one would think you thought I was about to kidnap you. Any objection to a spin down the lake, to give us an appetite for supper?" "Well, we can leave Casa Clary at all, without offending our hostess. I don't suppose it much matters where we go." "It looked as though you were afraid of me," stated Stevens. "Desire must have had something to do with what it looked like, then" she retorted. "You like women to be afraid of you, don't you, Tim?" "I don't get you," he told her. "The very evil of it is . . . you do get me . . . always. Isn't that true? I see through you so completely that . . . instead of being feared . . . you're a little bit afraid of me; eh, Tim?" "Little Miss Hate-Herself—that's "Little Miss Hate-Herself--that's you, isn't it?" he jeered. "You can't accuse me of vanity because I state that I can see through you, Tim. Most women can, and do. They don't tell you so, because you have money." "I won't agree with you," he said. "But if you can see through me, then you must know how much I . . . love DILI NILEY "I think the Minerva, so clean and sweet, is your soul—when you were a tiny baby." "that's what offends me," she replied. "Offends? Is love offensive?" "Your kind. From a man like you ... of course "Oh, by God! that's carrying it a bit too far I just a bit too raw, Lucy!" "I don't mind it up to a certain point, but when you indicate that unclean, filthy—" "You are—" "Then why, in God's name, come out here with my to-night?" he cried. here with me to night: he cried. "Because when I enter a game I play it. Pity you can't say as much. Tip." "I think the Minerva, to clean and a tiny baby." "How do you know I can't? How do you know... when I play a game, I don't... play it... all the way?" he demanded. She laughed contemptuously. "With women, you mean? But of course you mean that. It's the only game you know. But... you never played it with my kind of woman, because my kind don't play with you." "You're one that's going to go," he said flatly. "Think so?" She shook her head again. "This is Mrs. Clary's game we're playing. The other game... I didn't enter." "You didn't know you'd entered it" he contradicted. "but you have You're here, heard the Minerax. You'll damn good and ready to let you leaves net before. Now, do you play my game?" Her eyes winked; her sweet mouth dripped with tears. "I Fate intends, yes. But Fate has been so very kind to me, thus far, that I cannot believe it intends me any such trick as playing such a game with you. Tim. Ive come out with ven. Let's go back." "It's come in again," he remarked grinily. She remembered Modane, the *Mingrua* skipper. A rat-faced man, of inexact ancestry, a touch of the Levantine in his hooked nose. The men were ordinary sailors, and the domestic staff, so to speak, were Japs. No help from the latter was be forthcoming; it was not for them to interfere in the actions of the barbarians who employed them. The white sailors were crude, stupid men; and Modane was his master's man. Wariness owned her; this situation, absurdly impossible though it might seem later when she narrated it, was definitely dangerous now. The extent of its danger depended entirely on the degree of manness which possessed Stevens. "And it all leads to . . . what?" she asked. "You'd keep your word. It leads to your promise to marry me. When I have that, I'll put you ashore." "And as the months, or years, pass bithelly by" she asked. "I won't wait that long," he said. "Maybe, after a while, you'll ask me to marry you." "I can't this trifle too melodramatic, Tim? The ruined malden pleads with her despiler—" "The trouble with you, Lucy," he interrupted, "is that, with all your experience, you don't know men. Or you'd know that I mean what I say." "But why want a girl who has only contempt for you?" she asked. "Don't ask me! Why does the tide come in? You believe in Fate; you've so often enough, anyway, Well, you're my Fate, Lucy. God I haven't mentioned you to you, but if I had words to tell you . . . The very sight of you drives me crazy: the tones of your voice, the way you sometimes blink your eyes, as though you were a million miles away—Lucy, I've run around after you like a pet pup, for a year, and now—" "Now the mongrel bites, eh?" she interjected. "He's only barking now/" he told her, "but he will bite." She shook her head. "No, I don't think so. He'll be afraid of the whip." "Get this into your pretty head, THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page and make it stick there, me cry. "Where you're concerned I don't totally don't give a damn! I thought that men who went blah over one particular woman were weak-kneed soft-heads. But I change my mind. You . . . you . . . ch, I can't make it clear, but you . . . obscure the sun for me, Luc. There a cloud always before me, and if I turn my head to look the other way, the cloud is still there. It's you, you all the time, everywhere. If some speaks to me it's your voice I hear. A girl dances in the theater and it's Lucy Harkness that I'm watching. The sun sets over Lake Worth and sweet, is your soul—when you were it's Lucy Harkness's face I see. "A magazine, a newspaper supplement prints pictures of women and they're all photographs of you. Your name is in the headlines; it's on the signs along the road. I tell you, Lucy, this is real, this is honest-to-God. I've never told you, never asked you to merry me, but . . . you've known." "Yes, I knew, of course," admitted. He snatched at her admission. "And you came here to-night—Lucy, why did you come? Was it because—" "It was because, solely, you won the race. No other reason. I've never shirked an issue, never avoided a problem. Fate meant me to come here tonight. But I've told you this a dozen times." "And don't you think that Fate also means us to care for each other?" Stevens's voice came through the panels. It held a quality of excitement that she had never noted in his toes before. It was almost as though he had been drinking heavily and was fighting hard not to show the effect of the liquor. Yet there had not been time, since she left him, for him to become intoxicated. "Lucy, I want to talk to you," he said. The maddest panic swept over her, obliterating sanity. The door was filmy, would give way, despite the bolt, at the least onslaught. Tim Stevens had dared plan an abduction and carry it through. He might not go to further lengths, but how could she tell? If she opened the door . . . if she failed to open the door and he crashed through it . . . She would rather die than plead with Tim Stevens. She had never begged of any one in all her life; she would not begin now. Yet she could not fight; a screaming, scratching woman lost all dignity, confessed her weakness by her very defense. Panic passed; although her act was mad to the point of suicide, her actions were cool, delibrate. This was Devil-May-Care, who made her decisions on instant impulse, but who carried them through as calmly as though they had been thought over for months. She opened the port-hole—really a window—of her cabbin, and dived cleanly into the Gulf Stream. She was conscious of no shock as she went below the gleaming waters. It was one of those nights when semi tropical Florida is really tropical, and the difference between the tempera ture of air and water was very slight. She didn't bother to swim beneath the surface for any appreciable distance.

The dimple that thy chin contains has beauty in its round, That never has been fathomed yet by myriad thoughts profound. Beauty and the Making of History I think that most of us are inclined to consider beauty as a fragile immobile thing to be admired by those who stop to gaze. But history has disproved this erroneous impression more than once. Beautiful women, hidden from the eyes of the public, have had more influence on the history of the world than one realizes through reading the average history book. This was particularly true during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Wise and tried statesmen who could best their foes with learned words and strong arguments became helpless when faced with the lachrymose eyes of Marie Theresa and the enticing sophistication of Katrina. Of Marie Theresa it was said, "She weeps and weeps and takes and takes" . . presumably because the tears of a beautiful woman were irresistible to those hard-boiled politicians! Barberina has been given little or no place in history.

Yet, one may readily suspect that the intrigues of the time were ably assisted and furthered by her. Certainly, the wise men of France, realizing the weakness of man, did not overlook the presence of that Frenchwoman in the intimate circles which surrounded Friedrich. The European influence, at this time, was felt very strongly in that wild and mysterious place called America. That beautiful women played an important role in the early development of our country is an already established fact. Those were the days when beauty reigned and ruled. Today women have the right to vote. They are actually elected to Parliament and to Congress. Yet it is doubtful whether they have any more power than they had in the days when they wielded their influence behind their feathered fans! Helina Rubrstein ```markdown ``` gather.

This Home Have you noticed, of late, the vogue for gay quilts and comfortables? For years, in the artificiality of another age, the decorative possibilities of these pieces have seemed half-forgotten. Now suddenly—encouraged by today's demand for design and contrasting color—the they have come back into fashion again. And so important is the subject that it has broken into print to tell its own fascinating story through the pages of a thick new book—"Old Patchwork Quilts and the Women Who Made Them"—in which the author gives not only a complete history of the quilt, but also describes 310 different patterns and illustrates many of them. It is a book to intrigue every girl and woman who dreams of a beautiful home. And the story seems particularly apropos, since the gay, colorful patchwork theme with its geometric pattern is so thoroughly in harmony with the modern trend in home-furnishings.

Prices of apartments have been brought to very low figures by cooperation of the city and apartment house owners in order to make the winter at Mlam! as cheap or cheaper than paying coal and doctor bills in the North. ‘The plan is the first municipal project of its kind and resembles the purchase of a theatre ticket In a great elty from one of a hundred agencies located at a distance from the theatre, Tho buyer looks the seating plan over, picks out his seats, pays for them and has nothing to worry about when he reaches the theatre.

Furthermore, the members of the subordinate lodges are being taxed now not only to Rey current opera ting expenses of this enterprise, but, also, to pay to the county in which it is located taxes assessed against it. ‘The Supreme) Chancellor occupies a position not only as president of our national fraternal corporation, but, also, as chairman of the board of directors, who guides its affairs. He stated to the conyention that he did not know that this property was advertised for sale for delinquent taxes, neither did he know that it had been sold until after the sale was consummated. Tt £0 happened that the Grand Lodge of Arkansas, the jurisdiction in which the Pythian Sanitarium and Bath House are located, in order to save the property for the Supreme Lodge, advanced the sum of $4,- 063.80 and paid the county treas- urer the same, and thereby redeemed the property for the time being. ‘Ohio and other jurisdictions have lost several thousands of dollars, which they have invested in this building project, thinking that it was a sound business investment, as it was represented to be. This build- ing now is mortgaged or otherwise ineumbered to the extent of $200,- 000.00. The National Pythian Temple and Bath House Are Approximately $1,638,519.75 In Debt to Their Creditors. The Supreme Lodge is indebted to ‘the Grand Lodge, Grand Courts, sub- ordinate lodges, and individual mem- hers’ of the order for money, which it has borrowed and delivered to the ‘Supreme Lodge under either bonds ‘ox certificates of indebtedness, the following sums: Bonds cceceecinenne-$ 482,800.00 Notes Payable Out- standing even 284,579.75 Pythian Temple Cer- tificates of Indebt- CANES eereenneesneee 586,640.00 Due to Contractor on PO Building cece 885,000.00 | ‘Total amount ..........$1,688,519.75. eg |. Reports to the Secretary of the Supreme Lodge Pythian’ Temple Commission and the Supreme Master of Exchequer did not disclose an or- der or voucher showing that taxes jon the National Pythian Temple had been paid to the treasurer of Cook ‘County for the past two years or the present current year. | I made injuiry as to what would ‘be.the amount of the taxes due to ‘the treasurer of Cook County, and ‘the answer was that no taxes had been paid for the past two or three years on this property. T inquired as to the appraisal value of the temple as shown on the tax duplicate in the auditor's office, and I was advised that it was $1,000,- 000.00. ‘The tax rate on real estate in Cook County in that section is $4.85 per hundred, which would in- dicate that the amount of taxes per year against the Pythian Temple arc about $48,500.00. If it be true that no taxes were paid for two years, they would amount to $97,000 against the property. If these taxes are not paid, it means penalties anc interest and eventually advertise- ment for sale, fo pay the delinguen taxes just as the Pythian Sanitarium and Bath House were at Hot Springs | Arkansas. | Supreme Lodge Treasury Stranded Reports of the Master of Ex ghequer show that there wag in. th bank to the credit of the Suprem Lodge fund July 1,, 1029, the sux of $182.29.

Ohio has already suspended eight subordinate lodges, which were un- able to pay the Supreme Lodge Na- tional Pythian Temple taxes in addi- tion to their other obligations, and there are several other delinquent lodges on our roster, which will be ‘suspended inside of the next thirty days or more for this reason. Tt is, therefore, apparent that. the Grand ‘Lodge of Ohio cannot collect these taxes and will not be able in the future to arrange for the pay- ment of theze taxes from any other funds or sourees, and for that re2- son it will not be able to sit in any more Supreme Lodge conventions. Supreme Lodge Jurisdiction Has Los! Thousands of Members on Account of This Pythian Temple Tax. The committees which reported on the State of the order at the Chicago, TMilinois, sessions held in 1927 shoved that the supreme jurisdiction had ost over 13,000 menibers during that biennial term. ‘The reports of the committees on the state of the orile: made in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1929, showed that the Supreme Lodge had lost 36,701 members dur- ing the last biennial term, which in- and burdens for building purposes dicates that Supreme Lodge taxes are driving members out of the order ‘by the thousands. ‘Administration Leaders Represented That Bath House and Temp's Would Be Sound Investments. | The administration financiers have ‘induced several Grand Lodges. and Grand Courts as well as individual members of the order, as I have ae to buy interest bearing bonds issued and backed by the Su- [preme Lodge as sound investments, when as a matter of fact the Pythian [Sanitarium and Bath House have ‘been operating at a great, financial oss to the order even since they were built, The National Pythian Temple at Chicago, Ilinois, at the present time is not fully occupied by tenants; it is said to be only two-thirds filled. The largest monthly revenue since it was dedicated was $1,188.00. If we con- cede that when it is fully. tenanted the monthly revenue will amount to $8,000.00 ‘a month, ‘which would make $36,000.00 per year, that amount would fall far short of pro- ducing sufficient revenue to main- tain the building, as this sum would not be enough to pay the taxes as- sessed against it. ‘The Supreme Lodge, therefore, has no revenue yield from either of these building enterprises with which to pay interest on the bonds or the principal when they become due. ‘The Supreme Lodge financiers and leaders now, in order to provide rev- enue with which to pay interest on these bonds, and the contractors who constructed’ the building have spou- sored a new law levying an assess- ment of $1.00 on each member for that purpose. It is, in fact, collect. ing money from’ several Grand Lodges to pay them interest already loaned to the Supreme Lodge. It is reported that when two or three grand jurisdictions, whieh had bought onds from the Supreme Lodge, sent their interest coupons to it for pay- ment, had then returned, because it had ‘no money with which to pay them. 1 Ohio’ Must Build Itself Up Within, ‘We must, therefore, concentrats our efforts and strength in building up our membership and Endowment Department, We must aid our Uni form Rank for the state encampment For the present, we must abide ou time, ‘The Grand.
